2012 Map of Globe

About this map

The settlement of Globe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are defined by a complex network of historic water management in this 2012 survey. Early irrigation and drainage systems like the Pleasant Valley Ditch, Moore-Witt Ditch, and Graham-Osborn Ditch illustrate how water was diverted from the Tule River to support the local landscape. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward Cow Mountain and Oat Mountain, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the Indian Reservation Rd near the S Fork Tule River. This modern era map provides a clear view of local infrastructure, from the Springville District Ranger Office to the remote reaches of Blue Canyon and Gibbon Canyon, recording the persistent footprint of mountain settlements and family-named landmarks like Bonsall Hill and Bagby Hill.
